This Pride month is going to feel different 🏳️🌈
Charged with palpable anger, passion and vigour unparalleled to recent years.
The long-discussed and often trite ‘is Pride still a protest?’ conversation has a clear and present answer this year — fuck yes 💪
So what do we need to keep in mind? 🧵

From #AHAPerspectives in 2024: In Sophia Rosenfeld’s course on the First Amendment’s protection of speech and press, she contextualizes the idea of free speech with examples from the Renaissance to today. 🗃️
Not Just the First Amendment – AHA
Understanding the First Amendment’s protection of speech and press requires students to think historically about more than just the US Constitution.

“It’s unclear if he can”
“unclear if he has the power”
When someone doesn’t respect established laws and safeguards then it probably doesn’t matter to them whether they can or not - they’re still doing it.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

A little bear figurine carved out of amber some 6,000 years ago 🐻 ❤️
A hole runs through the bear’s torso, suggesting it was threaded onto a cord and perhaps worn as a protective amulet.
Discovered in a peat bog near Slupsk in Poland. 📷 National Museum in Szczecin.

So Pope Leo has "Creole of color roots from New Orleans." Every scholar of race in America knows what that means.
Under the "one drop rule,"* the world now has its first Black pope. 😄 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Hear me out. It might be a good time to better understand American Constitutional history. And @historians.org has a series of booklets covering Constitutional topics such as judicial review, political parties, and immigration. They are about 50–70 pages, so a quick read. (And teachable!) 🗃️
